Wow another blog so soon. Don't get used to it though, I'm sure being back at work will soon put paid to this blogging stuff.
I'm actually feeling quite positive, if a little tired. As the saying goes, I'm keeping my chin up. I'm also lucky to have fab friends who are keeping my spirits up too.
Saw the practice nurse yesterday about the diabetes, and feeling a bit more relaxed about it now. She gave me a monitor, so I can extract my own blood for testing to my hearts content now. But being a bit of a wuss, and definitely not doing pain, I shall resist the urge to obsess about it and keep the testing to the minimum. I have decided mornings before breakfast is probably the best time. So I took a brave pill and did it this morning, it was 12.4, so not great, but could be worse. I guess I just feel a bit more in control now, and those of you who know me will know I can be a dreadful control freak. Also have to see the nurse again in 3 weeks, so again feel like it is being monitored and not just left. I guess I'll chill out about it all after a bit, well as long as I don't have insulin anyway!
The sun shining sure helps too. Hubbs did some tidying up in the back garden, so its ready to be made pretty now. Just have to sort the fence out one side, which is coming away, and we can get things underway. Hubbs will then be tasked with giving the fence a lick of paint, while I do the table and chairs (very slowly, but they'll be finished by August!). I have checked out the nursery for plants and have decided which ones I want, so if I'm up to it next weekend I will start on my flower bags.
Went out to meet a friend today for a coffee and a gossip (well hot chocolate and tea), gotta love Starbucks! She bought me a lovely Orchid too, so I will try really really hard not to kill it. It was lovely to have a good gossip away from work. Had another trip down memory lane too, saw an old neighbour, who is a fireman, so we ended up chatting to him for ages......and people think I can talk, he beats me hands down? Made me feel a bit old too, remembering people and events from so many years ago. Don't know how him being a fireman is relevant, but its out there now.
I have now just received another invite to starbucks for tomorrow, whats a girl to do? I'm making the most of it before I'm back at work. It does help to keep the chin up too, lifes too short!
Keep smiling.......
